Bottling Machines
The bottling challenge is putting the correct amount of product into a bottle or container as quickly as possible. Accutek entered the packaging industry thirty years ago with its first product, a bottling machine. Today, Accutek Packaging Equipment Companies, Inc., is one of the largest packagings and bottling machine manufacturers in the United States. A leading developer and manufacturer of complete packaging solutions where bottling systems are an integral component. Accutek Packaging Equipment Companies offer a wide variety of bottling machines, as well as capping, and labeling machines. We pride ourselves on being able to support startup companies that need economical semi-automatic bottle fillers. We also have the depth of experience needed to service larger companies with world-class technology, providing automatic packaging lines at competitive prices.
AccuWeight Filler
AccuWeight Fillers are net weight fillers designed for precise and accurate filling of liquid or semi-liquid products into drum or bucket containers ranging from 0.5 – 6 gallons (2-25L).

Custom Options for Bottling Machines
Each customer has unique product and container combinations. We routinely customize our bottling systems to accommodate specialized glass or plastic containers and product combinations. We are also adept at integrating our products into existing packaging lines.
Finding the Best Bottling Machines for Your Needs
Here are factors that should be considered when searching for the correct bottling machinery for your product line. Bottling machinery selection is driven by your product characteristics, viscosity being the primary metric. Peanut butter is put in a bottle by a liquid filling machine, as is acetone. Peanut butter and acetone are both liquids but at opposite ends of the viscosity range. The bottling system needed to move peanut butter into a bottle is very different than the bottling system used for acetone.
What type of bottling system is best suited for your product viscosity and other characteristics? There are four different bottling technologies, piston, timed flow, metered flow, and overflow. Peanut butter is best handled by a piston filler that keeps the product warm and therefore at a lower viscosity, all driven by a strong pneumatic cylinder. Acetone, on the other hand, can be gravity fed into an overflow filler.

Bottle Selection
Selecting a bottle is the next step as you design your liquid filling system. A simple straight-sided round bottle can be handled by off the shelf components. If you choose a novelty bottle, you will increase the time to design, manufacture, and test your plastic bottling machine.
As a business starts and expands, the needed production rates from their bottling system increases. A startup company’s first machine will typically be a simple bottling machine that may fill a single plastic or glass bottle at a time with an operator handling the containers before and after filling. Increasing the number of nozzles on a bottling system increases production rates and thus the type of bottling machine from semi-automatic to fully automatic. Bottling systems that process glass or plastic containers have as many as twelve nozzles filling at the same time are not uncommon. In these filling systems, a conveyor belt moves the containers under the nozzles, pauses while the liquid fills the bottles, and then moves the filled containers out.
Accutek Sales engineers have the training and experience to assist you with selecting the optimum bottling machinery for your production rates, product, and container combination.
